OCS in Vmware

Hi,
i want to install OCS 10.1.2.0 (RedHat ES 4.3 Update 3) in a Vmware session
anyone tested this? i got errors on the OPMN assistant and Internet Directory Configuration Assistant

Hi, I've installed OCS 10.1.2 in Linux AS 3.0 in a VMWARE, it's work, slow but work.
Remember that for a single box installation you will need at least 2GB.
My recomendation is to do a two box installation at least, with 2gb of ram in each vm.
Regards,
Julio

Questions on OCS and workflow

I am wondering whether I can configure the following:
- Can I have multiple views? Example, view documents by Author, Project, Category? Can I customize document
views?
- Can I control access rights on a single document?
- Can I monitor or extract a report on how often a document is accessed?
In addition, I have the following problems with OCS Workflow:
- The Workflow has no default email notification. Documentations indicated that Email Notification has to be configured to work with SendMail. Can Email notification be configured with OCS Mail instead?
It does not make sense to use SendMail instead of OCS Mail.
- Document can be viewed by Workspace members once it is uploaded. What is the purpose of workflow then?
- Document has to be manually submitted for review to initiate a Workflow process. Can this be performed automatically?
- WorkFlow approver is defined by the user. It should have predefined approvers.
- In Workflow notification, Notification Detail provides the URL but does not have a URL link back to the document. In this case, the review process is manual because the approver does not have an easy
way to preview the document.
Are my comments correct? Are there any workarounds?

Roger,
1) The default SPINCOUNT value is 0 (no spinning) for all platforms that are supported today. (At one time we had a default value of 5000 for Sequent hardware, but it has been many years since we supported that platform.) The SPINCOUNT value that will work best for any application depends on many factors, including the number of CPUs on the machine, the hardware platform, and the indvidual application. SPINCOUNT will only be useful when the machine has more than one CPU.
2) /Q logs Q_CAT:1447 after 50 unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore when the semaphore has never been released and reobtained by a different process or the same process during that period. The Access Control List code uses the same rule for logging LIBTUX_CAT:1511. If TMSPINCOUNT is set, then the number of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore is incremented by 1 only after TMSPINCOUNT spins have been done.
Code for the BB semaphore and the semaphore used by /Domain follows a different rule. This code will log LIBTUX_CAT:5005 or LIBGW_CAT:5010 if a process has to wait for the semaphore for 10 seconds and the semaphore has never been released by the original owner during this time period.
3) TMSPINCOUNT is used for the BB semapahore, AOM semaphore, ACL semaphore, /Domain semaphore, and /Q semaphore. Locking the GTT uses the same BB semaphore that used to lock other tables in the BB.

Using a VMware Fusion XP environment with multiple Mac users

Hi,
I have installed an XP environment using VMware Fusion. I am only able to start this XP environment when logged in as the user that created it. How can I grant access to this environment to other MAC users on my machine?
Any input is much appreciated.
Kind regards, Hans.

Thanks all, thanks for your input. I have been able to solve it now.
As suggested I moved the VMWARE file to the shared folder. Then I assigned read/write access rights to the specific users. This is something I had not tried before. Somehow just moving to the shared folder did not change access rights on file level.
Thanks all,
Hans.

Run Windows 8.1 Pro on a SDXC card via VMware Fusion

Hi everyone,
I'm kinda new to the whole Mac story.
Have been using iPhone and iPad from day one, but never could get myself to go off Windows.
Well, a few weeks ago I bought myself a 13.3" MBP (Mid 2014 - 11.1 model).
It's the retina one with a 256GB SSD in it.
Now my question is...
I have a license from work for VMware Fusion 7, and I need some programs to run on Windows.
But I don't wan't to partition my drive and run it via bootcamp, I want to keep my Mac clean.
Does anyone have experience or know if I can run this on a SDXC card?
I would use a 128GB SDXC card with 60MB/s write and 80MB/s read.
Can I stick this SD into the slot, install Windows 8.1 Pro via Fusion on this card and let it run on a decent level?
Thanks in advance,
And with best regards,
Sonicje

Thank you for the fast responds.
I took a look into it and you are right.
The read/write speed is much higher and cheaper.
But, like I said, I'm nog willing to share my drive with Windows.
So I'm going to buy a 64GB USB stick (less than 60 euro) and going to install it on that source.
With 64GB I've some extra space for the futher if I need to work with more Windows only programs.
Thanks again for the advice!

Need to repair disk frequently, only happens after running VMWare Fusion, though

I have to repair my disk by booting with command-R at least twice a week. The disk gets corrupted and peformance goes down the toilet.
I have finally isolated that it happens only after I am have run VMWare Fusion 3.1.3. Whether I leave it open or suspend the VM doesn't matter. Of course the solution from VMWare was "pay for an upgrade to Vmware 4", but that is not in the cards for me.
Anyone have similar issues or problems.

Sorry, I should have been clearer on the VMware response. 3.1.3 is the lowest version they run on Lion and should work (minus the bells and whistles of 4), but I think he was just trying to upsell me 4.
Unfortunately, no. While the initial response from VMware was the release of the 3.1.3 update, it was quickly determined from all the reports that people were still experiencing issues with 3.1.3 on Lion. (I suspect it became more prevelant after the 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 updates. For the record, I did not have an issue with 3.1.3 on Lion, but I upgraded to Fusion4 before 10.7.1 came out.) While not everyone experienced an issue with 3.1.3 on Lion, there were enough reports coming in that VMware has pretty much stopped saying 3.1.3 is ok on Lion. But old webpages with outdated info still live on in Google, etc.
On a brighter note, VMware dropped the price of Fusion. Fusion3 was $70 when it was initially released. Fusion4 is $50. So from that point of view, VMware is give you $20 off.

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

mende1
Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

Running win 7 pro on Mac. VMware fusion - Help

Hey Guys,
I bought a mac and well I have been missing a few of my favourite PC programs so I have now installed VMware Fusion and put windows in and I logged into last night really quickly before I went to bed.
A few questions I have if someone can please help me with is :
1. How do I jump across to the windows OS ?
2. Do I need to transfer the app from my external to internal mac HD
3. Do I need winzip or is it still mac or once I goto the windows OS.. I can use normal winzip ?
sorry to ask so many noobish questions I just want to make sure I can run 3 main things from my Pc on the Mac and been told it was through Fusion which looks like the windows OS.
Please can someone help me out with these questions.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
since Fusion is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources here http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/support.html

Installing XP, running under VMWare

I am brand new to a Mac, and have found the Mac Pro I received a week ago was great to upgrade. Adding both memory and a new Caviar Black 1T drive this morning was the quickest/easiest upgrade I've ever done.
I am currently formatting the new drive I just installed. The Format settings are Mac OS Extended (journaled), and the erase option was set to Zero out the data - I'm assuming this will ensure bad blocks will be marked as they are found - *Out of curiosity, does the disk utility mark bad blocks when found during the Zeroing out process?*
I'm hoping to avoid problems with the way the drive is set up prior to installing VMWare, XP, and moving files onto the drive.
Does VMWare Fusion deal with the format differences between what XP expects (NTFS) and the HFS+ format of the new drive? If not, do I need to do anything to handle this issue?
Secondly, I want to load XP from my MSDN disks - All of the Microsoft operating systems are contained on the MSDN disks. Anybody know if this will cause an issue?
Should I install XP for both VMWare and Bootcamp? Or can I run fine with a single copy running under VMware?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Zeroing with OS X Disk Utility seems very iffy and not as good as if you use vendor supplied utility which runs in Windows. I've even done 7-way write in Disk Utility and the drive showed problems.
I suggest you try something else than DU. MicroMat TechTool Pro seems able to identify weak or bad sectors, does not have means to remap. Intech Speedtools should be able to, and may, but that's another $89.
LIfeguard from WD, Seatools from Seagate... those are better.

BIA running under VMware

Please don't flame me as I am just trying to understand licensing, scalability, and cost of this solution. My understanding of the BIA appliance consist of Linux blades (16GB of memory), share SAN disk subsystem (GPFS configured), isolated switched infrastructure, and the application software (TREX). Speaking to the physical configuration, this could all be virtualized into a custom VMware configuration where you could maintain/guarantee a high level of performance for disk, network, and Linux guest/blade performance. Now for some of my questions.
My understanding of the license is per 16GB where 16GB is the max per blade. This license is for production usage and would be priced different in a dev/test environment. Is this correct? To move a dev blade to a production blade center would have a license cost, correct? Also, if this solution was virtualized, an additional license would be needed when adding new virtual Linux guests to the solution.
Based on licensing, would it be possible to virtualize the dev/test environment for no or little cost and concentrate the hardware solution to production usage?
What have people done when they max out their current blade center (10 or 14 depending on HP or IBM)? Just buy another appliance? It would see easier to support a configuration where you could add a VMware guest and just purchase the additional software license. A win for SAP and the customer! This would allow an easier scalability path when loads increase. I haven't heard/read about processor being a bottleneck so I have left this out but please let me know if this is an issue.
I know this is easier said then done but with virtual being supported in all other areas of the SAP landscape, it would make sense to allow it to creep into the BIA solution.
What do you guys think? Am I crazy for even thinking it possible?
Thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve,
first about licensing... There are no SAP license fees for the non-productive blades. If you move blades from dev/qa system to production, then you new license fees are due. Please talk to your SAP account executive in this case.
Next about virtualization... BI Accelerator is all about performance. BIA is highly optimized for parallel processing and taking advantage of Intel CPUs. VMware or other attempts to virtualize BIA will not get even close to the real deal. It's basically a waste of time to even try.
Nevertheless there is one case where it makes sense. For a training system you would not need good performance and you would be using the "virtual BIA" only with a single training user. We have been thinking about it but as you said, it's not as easy as it sounds.

Marc

VMWare issue?

I have been running a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8. I needed to use it with Windows XP (SP2) running an old Risograph RP 3700 printer through a USB to RISO PARALLEL PORT cable (called Prolific Technology Inc IEEE 1284 Controller) running under the VMWare Fusion environment (a simulator) - it all worked very smoothly.
I now have Windows 7, 64 bit, and Windows 7, 32 bit, and XP SP3 all running happily (only one at a time!) in the updated VMWare Fusion environment.
I still want to print to the older printer (Risograph RP 3700) which I have to use regularly, but I now have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2 (Lion) with updated VMWare (64 bit) running on it when required.
Using the same cable (prolific IEEE 1284), the RISO WON'T PRINT FROM the new Mac in XP (now SP3). The IEEE 1284 cable is recognised immediately, but as a printer. However, the Riso isn't recognised through it, being the only way to connect the printer to the computer, and which worked so well before.
ANY CHANCE anyone knows what I can do to get the Riso to print from the new computer arrangement??? OR what I am not doing that I should be, or doing that I shouldn't be??
I have done all I understand to do and I am completely foxed.
Simonfromtiverton

I really don't think it is a VMware problem or a problem that you are now running XP SP3, instead of SP2.
I think it is more a XP/printer driver issue or that for some reason the USB ports on the MBP are not being totally recognized by the virtual machine.
Have you installed the VMware Tools? You could try reinstalling them.
Check the VM settings and one thing I always do is set the network into bride mode. That for me actually ties the VM to the host OS better.

Backing Up and Restoring Lync Server 2013/OCS 2007 R2 Co-existence Environment

Hello
I am seeking tips on how to build a replica of a Lync 2013/OCS 2007 R2 production pilot Co-existence environment in a test lab.
Lync 2013 is a standard Edition Pool
OCS 2007 R2 is an Enterprise Pool
Here is what I think...Is this feasible ? appreciate any other idea
1. Get Active Directory to Test Environment
For OCS 2007 R2 Servers
2. Use LCScmd on OCS 2007 R2 Servers to backup Global\Pool\Computer specific settings
3. Backup OCS 2007 R2 on Backend SQL Database
4. Restore data from steps 2 and 3 to equivalent servers created and prepared in test environment
For Lync 2013 SE Servers
5. Use the Lync 2013 Backup and Restore Process to bring up Lync Server 2013 into the test environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202192.aspx
David

That should do it, as you said you'll need Active Directory as well so these accounts line up with something.
It may be easiest to restore into your virtual environment using virtual snapshots or Windows backups and fixing any corruption that may have occurred by restoring what you've backed up.

Installed helpdesk to sles11sp1 vmware and won't startup

Hi,
I installed the service desk to sles11sp1 for vmware and it won't startup.
I am also running zenworks configuration mgmt 11 RC3 on the same server.
I installed with:
java -install install.jar -console
When prompted for a port I took the default 8700. It gave me a null and then prompted for a 1 to continue. So I selected 1 and continued.
If I http://ip:8700 I get nothing.
If I netstat -a -n|grep 8700 I get nothing.
What do I need to do to get this to work? Also I thought I could get this service desk integrated with zenworks configuration management?

Question regarding Oracle and Linux on VMware

Hello,
I carefuly read the paper on Oracle and Linux on Your Own VMware and I'm missing a point.
The paper explains how to start a cluster on a single host in a single Linux VM on VMware.
So, there are 2 instances of Oracle 10g DB on the same Linux VM inside VMware. What does allow that?
Is it possible to run 2 instances on any (single) Linux box, or is VMware required? If VMware is not required, why this complication in that paper? If VMware is required, what does it bring that make running 2 cluster instances on the same host possible?
Many thanks for your help.

The problem is that the date is stored in Oracle in the following format: DD-MON-YYYY and in SQL as 'YYYY-DD-MM HH:MI:SSSSSS'
for example: Data in Oracle would be 27-JAN-2012 and in SQL as 2012-01-27 00:00:00.000
I get an error when I compile.
How do you reconcile the formats when the syntax is different between databases?

Win Media Encoder on VMWare - Video Devices does not work!!! MBP 15"

Hi,
Im trying to setup Windows Media Encoder (9 series) through Windows XP (SP3 Virtualized on VMWare 2.0.5) to make a live webcast event on internet, but my Macbook Pro can't recognize my camcorder (Sony HVRA1)
I want to setup an live webcast event but when I use an Intel Windows native computer (as I have been doing) all works gook.
I've get a new Macbook Pro 2.53GHz 15" (aluminium) and I just cant make it work on Windows Media Encoder. The camcorder just doest exist inside Windows.
First thing I've done was try to find a Win Media Encoder for Mac, but I havent found any. Only converters but they not work with live events.
I could try others encoders but Im already on a server which just run Windows.
Any tips how to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi lgmmachado,
Presumably you connect the camcorder to the MBP using Firewire?
As far as I am aware one cannot access directly from a Virtual Machine a Firewire Port as it is not virtualised and no virtualisation software that I know of works directly with Firewire. I may be wrong here as I've never had the need to do so.
You would have to install BootCamp, then install Windows and then start up your Mac directly from the BootCamp/Windows partition to directly access the Firewire port from within Windows.
